David Silva’s 309th and final
Premier League appearance for
Manchester City was a canter of a victory over already relegated Norwich. It means the champions of the past two seasons finish on 81 points, 18 behind
Liverpool, with 102 goals as they bid farewell to Silva – from domestic competition, at least – the key player in the club’s success in the past decade.
On 84 minutes Silva was replaced by Bernardo Silva to supremely deserved applause from managers, substitutes, staff and the media, the 34-year-old shaking every hand he could.
